Emerging as the best popular drama in Thailand, Korean drama, 'Full House' is also top-ranked keyword in local search engine. 'Full House' posted the highest ranking as a keyword on www.pantip.com, the largest webboard and forum about computer, technical exchange and Thai culture etc.
According to Korea National Tourism Organization (KNTO) in Bangkok, for the last two weeks, 'Full House' has been at the top of the keyword ranking on www.pantip.com, Thailand's largest search engine, whose daily visitors are over a million.
Starring actor Rain and actress Song Hye-gyo broadcast last year at home, 'Full House' had been aired on Thailand channel 7 from the end of June to early this month, from 9:00 in the morning of every Saturday and Sunday.
Nielsen Media Research (Thailand), providing services that track and report television viewing and advertising spending, reported that the viewer rating of the drama soared 63% around the end of last month. Considering that general viewer rating of Thai TV programs are below 10%, this is impressively high.
Administrator of pantip.com pointed out that that the drama's popularity attributes to not only the story of a loving couple but the fact that the leading roles are Rain who is well-known as a singer among the Thai youth as well as Song hye-gyo whose popularity has surged since the airing of the drama 'Autumn Story (Gaeul Donghwa).'
Backed up by the success of 'Full House', KNTO expects the Korean fever to blow again as Korean dramas like `Jewel in the Palace (Dae Jang Geum)' as well as films are introduced on Thai TV.
